Get involved. Give back to Oxford.

Once you get to know Oxford College, you'll see why our alumni are incredibly dedicated to and supportive of their alma mater. The two years Emory students spend on Oxford's campus make a big impact—not only on them but on us and the communities they touch as engaged and responsible citizens long after they leave here. Our current students count on the support of Oxford alumni, parents and friends. We invite you to be a mentor, serve on an alumni board, and give to nurture Oxford's legacy.

The 2019 Oxford Class Gift will support the Oxford Organic Farm. We plan to raise $10,000 to build an outdoor pavilion to cover the existing pizza oven used by various groups. The pavilion will also provide a communal gathering area for events. In addition, we want to memorialize Marshall and Fran Elizer, original owners of the property. Marshall Elizer held various teaching and administrative roles from 1946-1978, and Fran Elizer served as a library assistant. The Elizers lived on the property until 2004, when Oxford alumnus Trulock Dickson 72Ox 74C purchased the property, assuring them they could return anytime. After Marshall passed away in 2009 and Fran in 2011, Dickson donated the property to Oxford. The farm is an important part of the university's sustainability efforts. Please make a gift today!

For your benefit.

There's a host of alumni benefits and resources for you on both Emory campuses. The benefits of your education don't end at graduation. Use the gym, including the pool and weight rooms, the athletic fields and tennis courts free on Oxford's campus. Take advantage of Emory's career counseling resources for alumni, or replace a lost EmoryCard or diploma. We are here for you long after you leave Oxford.

As an Oxford graduate, you reap the alumni benefits of two schools. The Emory Alumni Association, which serves graduates from each of Emory's nine schools, offers hundreds of ways to get involved on campus or beyond. Enjoy exclusive benefits, help others, learn something new and have fun with your classmates and fellow Emory alumni

Alumni functions help you stay connected with former classmates, while also providing the chance to meet current students. You'll be surprised by how much has changed and yet how familiar it feels coming home to Oxford. There are plenty of opportunities to find your way back here such as the Scholarship and Leadership Dinner, reunions, or by attending a lecture or art performance during the semester.
